      What tablet are you using? I have a Wacom Bamboo but have never quite gotten used to the disconnect/lag between my hand movement and movement of the cursor on my monitor. Now I am using my iPad Pro 10.5-inch with an Apple Pencil and am finding that much better suited for me... although I greatly miss having access to Lazy Nezumi Pro (a Windows desktop app for line curvature smoothing). Lazy Nezumi really helped me get rid of all the jitteriness and lack of smooth curvature in my line work, which is something you look to be struggling with as well. You should check it out, IMO.

        Ever looked into a Wacom Cintiq? They're super pricey new, but you can find Cintiq 21's on ebay for under $500 pretty reliably.

          Yeah, I was considering getting a Cintiq but they are pretty dang expensive so I went with an iPad Pro instead since I needed a new tablet anyways and I had heard good things about the Apple Pencil. I'm pretty happy with them so far.

          I never even thought to look on ebay or kijiji (Canadian craigslist) for a used Cintiq though... maybe I should since I still use my Bamboo a decent amount and $500 is not a bad price for a used Cintiq, so thanks for the suggestion!

        I have a Q11k! It was only 90 bucks but for a beginner it was perfect for me. It's glitchy at times but digital art I feel is accelerating my drawing experience! That program looks pretty awesome!...

      First of all: great job! I really like the girl, but perspective is a bit off, I guess you could use a picture as a template to get right the little details like frame and depth

        Thanks! Yeah I'm not too good at giving things volume. Do you have any recommendations on tutorial video that can help me practice?

          Not really any tutorial, but japanese anime makers often scout the areas they intend to set their scenes in order to have reference material. You could cheaply do that using google images, then...

          You could cheaply do that using google images, then put in a dedicated layer the reference picture and work the first sketch in an overlayer at 50% opacity.

    Nice! What kind of tablet did you get? I've been playing around with a huion q11k for a while and like it a lot. I've never been any good at drawing people though.

      I have that one too! So far I'm only okay at eyeballing drawing myself. I'm really bad at making my own stuff lol
